The Home Affairs Department has deported Lithuanian actress Ieva Andrejevaite after she fabricated a story of wanting to apply for asylum because of the conflict in Ukraine.

In a statement, the department says she arrived at the Cape Town International Airport in a private jet without a visa and was then refused entry by immigration officials.

The actress was formally processed for deportation earlier this month and declared an undesirable person by immigration officials.In a statement, Home Affairs says: “ “At no stage, during her stay in the country, did Ms Andrejevaite attempt to apply for asylum. As such, she became an illegal foreigner, as defined in the Immigration Act, because the five day period lapsed.”

The government's greatest achievement, deporting one person without proper documentation. Doing your job is so extraordinary it gets a headline.

In fact, legal immigrants should be monitored on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with our Laws. Employ more youth to become Immigrant Officers & Deal with Iligal Immigrants as well.Eradicate Xenophobiac Perception about SA &Create Employment

Dear SA woman educate you families and relatives to stop voting for the ANC and EFF that wants illegal immigrants to freely move in our country. Otherwise zizokhal !!!

HomeAffairsSA officials who accepted that bullshit need to be dealt with

She wanted to do it the right way. That why she was deported. That thought she wanted to make her self special

But to walk across the border from next door without papers to kill, rape and steal - that's okay ? TSEK!

ClasycMan What about the millions of illegal Africans and Bangladesh roaming around?

Why are you leaving other kwere kweres from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Somali, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Lesotho

This appears to be an abuse of the laws meant to protect genuine asylum seekers (especially the principle of non-refoulment: She is lucky she wasn't prosecuted (& get a criminal record).

You don't just deport such a rich person who arrives in the with a private jet, trust me south Africa needs that Money, you would have granted her asylum and keep watching her, once the money get finished you deport her. Just like Dubai police did to guptas

If the person was from England it would have been a different story

Hmm ,a white person deported in SA Strange

Well I assume her bribe was not enough
